Maths and science

Measuring is an important activity in both maths and science; we have tactile and talking measuring equipment including tactile calipers as well as an audible trundle wheel. Diagrams can be created using plastic embossing film (also known as German film) and charts can be marked using Wikki Stix, Tacti-Mark or tactile bumps.

We’ve over 700 accessible maths and science images on RNIB Bookshare, including number lines, fractions, Bimodal Distribution, angles in regular polygons, net of a cone, plant reproduction, the life cycle of a frog, electrolysis of salt solution, molecules and atoms, the Hubble telescope and ionic bonds.
